That's not a bad deal, but the MSRP is hugely inflated. Amazon has a Y500 with an additional 8GB of Ram, a 16GB Express Cache and a second GPU for SLI graphics and they show an MSRP of $1249 and of course sell it for less than the MSRP. I paid $1099 for that spec last weekend and the machine absolutely rocks, except of course for Windows 8 but it seems all the needed drivers are available if you want to downgrade to Windows 7.

The touchscreen would definitely mind the downgrade to windows 7(If any)

All of the models I see on Newegg have the sli version, which this deal doesn't specifically specify, does anyone know if this has one or two discrete gpus?

This one has the single GPU. You can add a second GPU as an accessory for $229.
